The overarching goals of any system of education especially in poverty stricken and underdeveloped jurisdictions are rolling back the frontiers of poverty and also to paraphrase President Herbert Hoover to ensure a roof above every head, a chicken in every pot and an automobile in every garage.

In short, good and relevant education directly seeks to provide solutions to bread and butter issues vexing humanity in general and young people in particular. Winning the battle against unemployment and underemployment is the noblest battle that must be tackled with everything at the disposal of a learning institution. The fight to improve the school system means everything to a country and should never be allowed to fade into some obscure background or overtaken by any events. The battle should be pursued without ceasing at whatever cost.
